Malaria is a disease transmitted through the bite of female Anopheles mosquito caused by Plasmodium parasite. has been reported to become resistant artemisinin. Thus, study on ethanol extract mango parasite leaves/Dendrophthoe pentandra (MP) P. berghei-infected BALB/c mice with and without artemisinin combination (MP+A) was conducted. This experimental laboratory research post-test only design....

background: our study aimed at substantiating the recent claim of myo-cardial complications in severe malaria by experimentally inducing severe plasmodium falciparum infection in a humanized mouse model employed as human surrogate. methods: twenty five humanized mice were inoculated with standard in vitro cultured p. falciparum and blood extracts collected from the inner cardiac muscles of infe...

Malaria parasitemia was assessed in 37 known sickle cell anemia patients attending the routine hematological clinic of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin-City, Edo State. Parasitemia was determined using the quantitative buffy coat analysis. The prevalence of malaria parasitemia among the population studied was 86.5%. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of parasi...

background: toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with high seroprevalence worldwide. several immunological methods have been described for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. objective: to determine the parasitemia period in patients infected with toxoplasma using pcr and comparing serological data with molecular results. methods: 154 serum samples from patients with toxoplasmosis were examined. presenc...

background: sickle cell disease (hbss) is a major health problem in nigeria and ma-laria has been implicated as a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in sickle cell disease patients. few reasons were put forward to explain the observed morbidity/mortality of hbss subjects due to plasmodium falciparum (p. falciparum) malaria. objectives: to determine the level of immunoglobulin classes (igm, ig...

BACKGROUND: The interaction between the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines is known to play key roles in immune response infectious diseases. pathogenesis of malaria parasitemia, including its progression symptomatic manifestation, also seems be strongly related this interplay. AIM: study evaluated plasma levels interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) interleukin-6 (IL)-6, which are inflammatory cytokines, ...

the aim of the present studyis determination of probable correlation between parasitemia rate and hemolysis in cattle infected with anaplasma marginale. two groups including 10 uninfected cattle and 20 infected cattle were selected. based on parasitemia rates, the infected animals were divided into 3 subgroups (

We assessed the prevalence and natural history of malarial parasitemia by use of microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 314 asymptomatic children in Kampala, Uganda. The prevalence of asymptomatic parasitemia was 17% by microscopy and 47% by PCR. Children with parasitemia identified by microscopy had a 5-fold higher rate of subsequent symptomatic malaria, compared with children witho...

background& objectives: inspite of intensive worldwide efforts to reduce its transmission, malaria remains the most serious and widespread protozoal infection of humans. it is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquito. malaria has long featured prominently in the grey area between parasitology and hematology. this study has been performed to evaluate ...
